To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J OSEPH'H. CHAMP, a citizen of the United States, and a, resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyaho'ga, and State of Ohio, have invented a new'and useful Improvement in Apparatus for Dispensing Liquids, of which the following isa specification,

the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle so as to distinguish it from other inventions.

The object of the .invention is to provide improved means for dispensing liquids.

The invention consists of the means hereinafter described and finally-pointedout in the claims.

The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detail certain mechanism embodying the invention, such disclosed means constituting but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.

Figure I is a side elevation of my liquiddispensing apparatus as it may be applied in use in connection with a cooling-chamber and a primary vessel containing aerated liquid. Fig. II is a vertical central section of my liquid-dispensing apparatus, the apparatus being shown in position such as obtains when liquid flows into the dispensing chamber. Fig. III is a sectional plan view taken on the broken line 3 3 of Fig. II. Fig. IV is a central vertical section of the dispensing apparatus, taken in a plane at right angles to that in which Fig. II is taken. Fig. V is a sectional plan on line 5 5 of Fig. 1V. Fig. VI is a sectional plan on line 6 6 of Fig. IV.

A represents a primary vessel for containing aerated liquid. It is connected by pipe B with coil 0-, such coil being located in cooling-chamber D. My dispensing apparatus may be attached to the face of such coolingchamber and have its nozzle E coupled, to said coil 0. Said nozzle hasa central duct a, which is in constant open communication with the interior of said cooling-coil C, such duct extending forward and being adapted to have registering communication with way b,'formed in rotary valve F.- This rotary valve F is further provided with' way a,

...mntcd to have registeringcommunication the parts with duct. d, formed in the valve-seat G, and having constant communication with the upper portion of dispensing-chamber H. Said way b of the rotary valve has constant communication withduct e, formed in the central vertical line of said valve and of said valve-seat and of said dispensing-chamber, the lower portion of such duct-e having constant communication with the lower portion of said dispensing-chamber.- Said way 0 of said rotary valve has constant communication with the valve-chamber J, within which said rotary valve is located. Such valvechamber has constant communication with ductf, whose opposite extremity has free communication with the cooling-cham'her'D. A

cap K is screwed into the top of-valve-chamber J. A spiral spring L is compressed be- I tween the upper portions of said rotary valve =5 ,and said cap and tends to maintain said r05 tary valve against accidental displacement. 1 7

Extending through duct e'is valve-stemld; if whose lower end is connected to valve N, such-"- valve controlling the discharge of liquid from the bottom of dispensing-chamber H. A spiral spring 9 encircles the lower portion of such valve-stein and is compressed between the top of valve N and the bottom of sleeve h,

which latter-constitutes the wall of duct e "within the dispensing-chamben- The upper portion of said valve-stem is loosely connected to lever-handle P. Such handle is pivotally fulcrumed totubula'r stem Q of the rotary valve, 2. spring j tending to maintain such handle in horizontal position, in Fig. II, the formation and connection of being such that the rotary valve may be rotated on its seat by the lever-handle operating upon the valve-stem Q without having efiect to either raise or lower valvestem M of the outlet-valve N. In like manner the lever-handle may operate in connection with said discharge-valve stem M without aifectin' g the position of the rotary valve.

When liquid is to be drawn from the primary containing-chamber A into the dispensing-chamber II, the apparatus is in the position shown in Fig. thereby passes through duct (1 into way b of the rotary valve and thence to duct e into the lower portion of the dispensing-chamber.

as shown II. 'The aerated liquid \Vhen sufificient liquid has thus been let into the dispensing-chamber, the operator rotates the rotary valve by turning the lever-handle horizontally through a quarter of a circles revolution, whereupon duct 12 of the rotary valve is placed out of registering communication with duct or, and duct 0 oi the rotary valve is placed'in registering communication with duct d of the rotary valve-seat. Thereby the gas within the dispensing-chamber is permitted to escape by duct d, way c,valve-chamber J, and duct f into the cooling-'chamberl). When the liquid within the dispensing-chan iber ,is sufliciently relieved from pressure-,th'e" operator presses the lever-handle down and the parts assume position shown in Fig. IV. The liquid without undue pressure is thus permitted to pass into a glass for the consumer. When the desired quantity of liquid is thus drawn at the will of the operator from the dispensing-chamber, then the operator permits the springs g and j to close thevalve N and restore the lever-handle into the horizontal position, all as shown in Fig. II.

my invention may be employed instead of the one explained, change being made as regards the mechanism herein disclosed, provided the means covered by any one of the following :claims be employed.
